Acclaimed Flying
Nanny service now available on 787Dreamliner flights to Beirut

The new 787 Dreamliner
service replaces the Airbus A321 aircraft previously operating the airline’s EY535/EY538
flights to and from the Lebanese capital. The Boeing
787-9 features Etihad Airways’ next-generation Business and
Economy Class cabins and is configured with 299 seats – 28 Business Studios and
271 Economy Smart Seats.

Mohammad Al Bulooki, Etihad
Airways Executive Vice President Commercial, said: “Beirut was the first
international destination served by Etihad Airways in 2003 and it is fitting
that we introduce the state-of-the-art 787 Dreamliner to this key market today.

“The
new two-class 787-9 provides
an increase of 125 seats per flight, with 4,186 weekly seats now offered in
both directions. This reflects the strong demand to Lebanon from Abu Dhabi and
the entire UAE, where a large Lebanese expatriate community resides.

“Additionally,
a significant proportion of our customers travelling to Lebanon originate in
Australia, home to a considerable Lebanese Australian community, with the vast
majority based in the Sydney area. They can now enjoy an upgraded, seamless
flying experience, connecting from A380 services via Abu Dhabi onto 787 Dreamliners onwards to Beirut.”

The Boeing
787 is the backbone of Etihad Airways’ modern fleet of
aircraft, boasting innovative, award-winning cabin designs and products,
complemented by the airline’s acclaimed service and hospitality offering, which
on Beirut flights now includes a Norland approved Flying Nanny in Economy Class
to provide extra specialised care for families with young children.

The
Business Studios offer direct aisle access, a fully-flat bed of up to 80.5
inches in length, and an increase of 20 per cent in personal space. Upholstered
in fine Poltrona Frau Leather, the Business Studio is equipped with an in-seat
massage and pneumatic cushion control system which enables guests to adjust the
firmness and comfort of their seat.

Each Business Studio has an 18-inch personal
touch-screen TV with noise-cancelling headsets. Guests can also enjoy mobile
connectivity, onboard Wi-Fi and seven satellite channels of live TV.

Economy Smart Seats provide enhanced comfort
with a unique ‘fixed wing’ headrest, adjustable lumbar support, a seat width of
approximately 19 inches and an 11.1” personal TV monitor on each seat. The
aircraft has been designed with enhancements including humidity controls while
air pressure levels are set to ensure a smoother flight, allowing guests to
arrive feeling fresher.

The airline’s Boeing
787 fleet is equipped with the latest inflight
entertainment system featuring over 750 hours of movies and programmes, as well as hundreds of music choices and a
selection of games for both adults and children.
